If we were operating mostly out of LGA or JFK our numbers would be just as bad as everyone else's. I wish they would understand this and quit trying to throw some useless numbers out and anoint us.

And if I recall, back towards the beginning of 2013 DL actually threatened to pull all their flying from GoJet due to poor performance and not meeting goals as set forth by the contract. They stepped it up for a little while, but it appears their reliability has once again slipped.

Yeah, that's totally an easy route map to pull off everyday. Whew!!!!

Actually, it is.

The majority of flying is from SLC and MSP...

Not exactly airports known for significant delay issues.

9E/G7/EV all do a bunch of LGA. That alone is enough to tip the scales.

Right, no TS ever roll through MSP. It never snows there or anywhere else in the midwest. TS never roll through DTW. It also never ever snows there either. Never snows in the Rocky Mountains either. In fact, SkyWest only flies to cities where there is absolutely 100% sunny skies all day, every day. Like Seattle.

You are very ignorant to east coast flying! You're making yourself sound stupid! It's more than just weather that causes the delays! Did you ever think to consider what happens when you have multiple major airports right next to each other? i.e. LGA JFK EWR.... It becomes extremely congested and ground stops are the norm... Now you can add in the weather and imagine what happens!

Stop being ridiculous.

Sure there are delays....They are airports.

To compare them to a place like LGA, or EWR, or ATL, or ORD is foolish.

I wonder where the "skywest attitude" originated from? The arrogance is blinding.
